A trained and dedicated chef in Los Angeles who survived a gruesome and
violent attack by a machete-wielding suspect, who had just killed another victim, is speaking out about the terrifying ordeal.

The violence unfolded in the early morning hours of June 1, with the Los Angeles Police Department responding to reports of an attack near 11th
Street and South Grand Avenue downtown.

At the scene, police located a victim suffering severe injuries from the attack. Only described as a man in his 60s, the victim was rushed to the hospital where he later died.

While detectives were on the scene investigating, reports of another
machete attack, in the area of Broadway Street and Olympic Boulevard, came
in. Police rushed to the second location and found a victim now identified
as Kyle Levitt.

Levitt told KTLA’s Rick Chambers that he had been walking home from his
job at a restaurant and was in the process of unlocking the building doors
to his downtown L.A. apartment building when the attacker struck.

“By the time I looked up and saw the reflection in the door, I noticed a
man running up behind me,” he explained. “I put my arms up to say stop and that’s when he hit me again.”

Levitt sustained multiple serious injuries to his head that required
staples and a blow to his right wrist that nearly severed his hand.

“My tendons were cut completely down to the bone. My artery was cut, and
he was over me at this point and that is the first time that I’d seen that
he had the knife in his hand,” he said.

His attacker never spoke to him but had what Levitt described as “crazy
eyes,” making him think the man was going to swing the machete at him
again.

“For whatever reason, he didn’t,” he said. “He sort of stopped in that
moment and registered, for whatever reason, that it was over and he ran
away.”

Someone inside the apartment building heard Levitt’s banging on the door
and came to his aid. He was rushed to the hospital where he has since
undergone numerous surgeries to reconnect his tendons and save his hand.

He didn’t learn until later that just minutes before, less than a mile
away, another man had been fatally attacked by the suspect.

“It was just this set of circumstances in which I was the lucky one,”
Levitt said.

During an intensive downtown manhunt for the suspect, police located and arrested him. They also recovered the machete believed to be used in the
two attacks.

So far, authorities have not released the identities of the suspect or the victim who was killed.

A GoFundMe has been organized to help support Levitt for the estimated monthslong recovery and physical therapy, leaving him unable to work.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
